Description

Environment:

Issue:
When running a debugger with a breakpoint, the breakpoints don't work.

I tried a few things which expose some behavioural changes:

  • Downgrading python to 3.10.13 solved the issue and breakpoints started working
  • Removing the -n auto while staying on python 3.11 also solved the issue and breakpoints started working

These 2 attempts made me thing it is related to this plugin and specifically to something that changed between python version 3.10.13 and 3.11

Research direction

Start by reproducing the debugger breakpoint failure with the Docker Compose interpreter, Python 3.11, and the pytest.ini addopts -ra -q -n auto. Compare that run with Python 3.10.13 and with -n auto removed; done means breakpoints work under the reported Python 3.11 configuration.
